A quick look at the Milwaukee Brewers updated top 30 prospect rankings.
There is a new number one on the Brewers top 30 prospect rankings list as currently injured catcher Jeferson Quero is on top.

Is Cooper Pratt the Brewers shortstop of the future?
Perfect Game 21
During the High School showcase circuit last year Cooper Pratt drew comparisons to shortstop Gunner Henderson due to his size (6’4″) and showcasing good ability in all five skills. MLB Pipeline has him graded at a 55 hit, 50 power, 50 run, 55 arm, and 55 field. Scouts believe he has what it takes to stick at shortstop and depending upon what the Brewers roster looks like in a few years he very well could be in consideration as their future shortstop.
He has the right instincts to play deep in the hole at shortstop, and his strong arm also has the accuracy needed to make him a potential defensive asset. The Brewers got him some early looks at second base to keep him up the middle, but his size and throwing ability could work at third too if future roster considerations dictate a move.
